The Growing Environmental Risks of E-Waste: A Review
Abstract
One of the most current problems to emerge in the rich as well as the poor globally is electronic garbage, or e-waste. Trash is one of the most challenging and quickly growing problems in the industrial world. Electronic trash, sometimes referred to as e-waste, is a sort of garbage created by electronics. Old or end-of-life electronic equipment, including computers, laptops, TVs, generators, DVD players, cell phones, refrigerators, and other devices that are usually thrown away by their original owners because of their limited lifespan are referred to as e-waste. They have several potentially harmful ingredients that, if not adequately handled, might harm human health as well as the environment. It is difficult to deal with e-waste since it contains hazardous chemicals. According to previous studies, India produced 0.4 million tons of e-waste in 2010, and by 2013–2014, that amount might rise to 0.5–0.6 million tons.
